"Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it. If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised."
Songs 8.7
Even if a man gave all of his wealth in exchange for love, it would not be enough. There is nothing in this world that can be exchanged for true love...
Only the Holy Spirit can guide us in the direction of pure and sincere love because He is love.
Therefore, those who want to love and be loved must first seek and receive the Spirit of love.
"O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You. Let my prayer come before You, incline Your ear to my cry." Psalm 88.1-2
The deeper the well, the closer you will be to God.
Not that He lives there...
but when someone finds themselves in this situation, there is no one they can really count on. Despair brings humbleness, sincerity, surrender and, above all, complete dependence on Him. That is how it was in that past and that is how it is nowadays.
"Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord." Proverbs 19.14
In other words, parents may even give their children the riches of this world. However, a wife that is wise, prudent and a suitable helper is only possible when there is an interference from the Lord.
The wise man will seek a soul mate that is from the Lord.
"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." 1 Peter 3.12
Because of His righteous nature, God hates unrighteousness. He abominates everything that is evil or sinful.
However, suffering is not His form of punishment. Instead, sinners reap the fruits of their sins. And He does not interfere with this.
But, for those who are righteous, His eyes are on them and His ears are open to their prayers.
"So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Indeed, I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness." Psalm 55.6-7
Although his heart was after God's own heart and he was a great war hero, David had his moments of weakness and despair.
If you are in a similar situation, know that the same God that lifted up David in the past, will also lift you up today.
This is a special message from the Holy Spirit to you.
"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6.14
The union of a person that is born of the Spirit with a person that is not born of the Spirit has led to many disillusions in the faith.
Only a very few people that are faithful avoid having relationships with unbelievers.
They are under the impression that this person will eventually convert to God, but this goes completely against the Word of God and brings curses upon them.
It's like putting good fruit with rotten fruit in the same basket. The good fruit doesn't cure the rotten fruit, but the rotten fruit will destroy the good fruit.
"The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish pulls it down with her hands." Proverbs 14.1
The power of a wise woman goes far beyond what you can imagine. Her husband and children admire her because she makes a difference in their family.
The devil knows her potential and tries to make her act foolishly, like he did with Eve, Jezebel and many others.
